Grew up a few blocks away from “Japan Town” in San Jose.
Sorry for these people but California needs to die.
San Jose was once (quite correctly) known as the "Garden City".
Now, it is a festering petri dish, competing for the crime and litter center of the once-golden State.

Got spraypaint?

They need to boil down the workflow to documented / reproducible steps... start to finish.
Then start training franchise owners.
Hold them all to a quality level and the product will live on providing for the family into the future
I guess I have a very uneducated palate as concerns tofu but I sure don’t get using the word “tofu” and “flavor” in the same sentence.
I remember the insufferable prick McNamera as chief of police.
Tofu is a blank canvas. Often it is marinated in spices, citrus, sesame oil & soysauce before being cooked or baked. I am a diehard meat eater, but I make tofu over rice & roasted veggies about once a month. Tofu alone is nothing.
Grilled tofu, covered with olive oil, is delicious.

Thanks for reinforcing my point. Every time I’ve seen tofu featured on a cooking show, it involves the marinating process you describe. I’d give your menu a try since I love roasted veggies.
I will try that sometime!
Japantown? Seriously?
Is that an internment camp? I cant think of a place in the rural South that is anywhere near as segregated and racist. They actually named a whole area, Japantown... Jesus. Does it have walls around it, too?
I think if it was prepared correctly you would at least not find it awful. The day I discovered you could toss diced veggies w/ olive oil, salt & pepper & roast them was a beautiful day! Delicious & easy.
I’ve shared this story often so apologies if you’ve heard it......my meat loving father loved to make his own bread & fudge. He developed the most delicious recipe for tofu burgers. I have attempted them multiple times & they will never compare. I even think a tofu hater would have craved them ; )
Let me know if you ever try tofu!
Lighten up Francis. No different than Little Italy in NY or Chinatown in SF.

You’ve never heard of Chinatowns?

As opposed to grass fed Prime beef that needs absolutely nothing added to it to be simply awesome.
Tofu has slightly more flavor than Ralph Nader, so +/- none. It does have high levels of most of the amino acids our bodies need except one. Lysine. It is a big reason Japanese are not fatties or big. For female adults Tofu is great. For kids, I don’t think so. Here is info on short pigs. Sure it applies 100% to the long kind. https://projects.ncsu.edu/project/swine_extension/nutrition/nutritionguide/protein%20and%20amino%20acids/protaa.htm
Here is why the dude does not abide more than one serving of delicious edemame a month. https://www.menshealth.com/nutrition/soys-negative-effects
I insist you tell us the cut (Hint: Prime rib is the answer)
